I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

In this way, the Red Line will replace the original Grand Line and become the center of the world!

The era of the sea has come to an end, and the era of the land and mountains has begun!

This will be a world-shaking upheaval! No one can even imagine what changes will occur in the world!

"Is this the true meaning of the Mountain Bandit King and the Great Mountain Bandit Era? It is indeed a world-shaking change that no one in the world, including Sig, could have imagined!"

The dragon was completely terrified by this thought in its mind.

If this is true, then Sig's ideals are probably much grander than those of their revolutionary army!

"Have we seriously underestimated Sieg's ambition?"

This idea was so shocking that even the dragon had to suppress the thought.

That concludes the discussion.

Whether or not Sieg is pretending to be unambitious, they have clearly failed to reach an agreement on cooperation.

Disappointed, Ryu took out a small Den Den Mushi from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"If Mr. Sig changes his mind in the future, he can contact us via Den Den Mushi."

"I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with Mr. Sieg in the future."

These words clearly indicated that he intended to leave.

"The golden thigh wants to run away?"

Sig almost lost his composure, and spoke with a hint of urgency:

"It doesn't matter if we don't reach an agreement on being enemies with the Celestial Dragons."

"I think there is still a lot of room for cooperation between our Sig Mountain Bandits and the Revolutionary Army in the current turmoil in the Goa Kingdom."

Damn it, we don't even know how large this encirclement and suppression operation will be, and it's uncertain whether my bandits can withstand it.

"..."

Longan twitched slightly, somewhat speechless.

Sig's target is Garp, and now he wants to drag the Revolutionary Army into his scheme?

Even if Dragon and Garp had no connection whatsoever, no one would willingly provoke someone like Iron Fist Garp.

..................

The two groups ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

Dragon was merely representing the Revolutionary Army, indicating that they would dispatch Revolutionary Army soldiers to evacuate civilians from the uncertain final destination, and would not interfere in other matters.

Even after leaving the cabin and emerging from the deep mountains, Long and the others still wore solemn expressions.

"Sigurd Boy is much more dangerous than we imagined... His target is actually that naval hero."

"But, Dragon, is this alright?"

Ivankov, the transvestite king, said with concern:

"Sigurd Boy already knows he can't lure Vice Admiral Garp here, so will he change his strategy and take even more extreme actions?"

What kind of ideas will this audacious bandit come up with next?

Continue to cause trouble? Create something so serious that the World Government is enraged and has to send Garp in?

Upon hearing this, the dragon stopped and glanced at Ivankov.

“For example… attacking the capital of the Kingdom of Goa and overthrowing the country,” Ivankov said.

Long pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Although Garp is not very reliable, he holds a special position in the Navy and makes no secret of his contempt for the Celestial Dragons and countries like the Goa Kingdom.

Given Garp's personality, even if the Goa Kingdom were overthrown, he might still openly slack off.

"Actually, there is another way to recruit Vice Admiral Garp."

The Tyrant Bear, who had been silent all along, spoke up softly:

"Assassinate a Celestial Dragon."

Upon hearing this, Long's expression changed.

The Revolutionary Army's goal is to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule, but even Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, never intended to take action against the Celestial Dragons now.

If they succeed, the deployment of a naval admiral will be inevitable.

Vice Admiral Garp, the most powerful military force closest to the Goa Kingdom, may also be forcibly conscripted by the enraged World Government!

Chapter 22 The Only Good News

"Bear, are you kidding me? Even for that dangerous Sigurd-boy, assassinating a Celestial Dragon is far too risky! Is he trying to attract the attention of a Marine Admiral?"

When Ivankov heard this conjecture, he didn't believe it either.

Burning down the terminal station, or even overthrowing the entire Goa Kingdom, are child's play compared to assassinating a Celestial Dragon.

The Revolutionary Army has overthrown more than one of the member states of the World Government.

However, assassinating a Celestial Dragon... unless the Revolutionary Army wants to engage in direct warfare with the World Government, they wouldn't take such a dangerous step.

"Dragon, what do you say? Since Kuma became a Shichibukai, has he been in more contact with the World Government, increasing his hostility towards the Celestial Dragons? That's why he thought Higuma-boy would assassinate a Celestial Dragon..."

Ivankov, the transvestite king, spoke for a long time, but received no response from the dragon.

Turning his head, he saw Long Yi with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Dragon, you don't actually think... Sigboy would really assassinate a Celestial Dragon?" Ivankov asked in surprise.

Dragon remained silent in response.

Reason told him it was impossible.

However, when I think of the hint from that bandit king, Sig...

The true bandit king is not only about conquering the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, but also about changing the entire world and ushering in an unprecedented new era.

If his goal is truly that ambitious... then assassinating a Celestial Dragon in the East Blue doesn't seem too absurd, does it?

Let's continue to observe.

The dragon sighed softly and said:

"It seems that our revolutionary army will have to continue to focus its attention on the Kingdom of Goa."

...............

In a wooden house deep in the mountains.

After Long and the others left, Sig sat alone in the room, lost in thought for a long time.

"With the golden opportunity gone, the situation is terrible now."

"The exact time of the encirclement and suppression is still unknown, but it is estimated to be not far off."

A sense of urgency rose in Sieg's heart.

No matter how powerful the Revolutionary Army's intelligence network is, it cannot possibly have complete control over all the movements of the Navy and the World Government.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

As soon as the door was opened, more than two hundred pairs of eyes turned to look at them, their gazes filled with excitement.

"Boss! Our entire bandit group is here! Please give us your orders."

The bald bandit raised his arm and shouted, and more than two hundred people responded in unison, creating a deafening roar.

"Boss and the revolution... Have you finished talking with the guests? Shouldn't we attack the capital of the Goa Kingdom next?"

"As soon as our leader gives the order, we will immediately attack the capital of the Kingdom of Goa and make you our king!"

"Fool, the boss's target is the Mountain Bandit King. How could the boss possibly care about the mere king of the Goa Kingdom?"

Sig looked at the suddenly excited bandits outside with a bit of a headache.

"You're really overthinking it. I have no conspiracy."

Sieg rested a hand on his forehead and said seriously:

"I didn't reach an agreement with the guest from earlier. There was no cooperation whatsoever, and nothing happened at all."

These words silenced the two hundred-plus bandits for a moment.

Before Sieg could even catch his breath, he stared in disbelief as the bandits in front of him nodded vigorously.

"The boss is right! We didn't cooperate with the... or the guests!"

“We had no plans, and we never saw any guests in cloaks visiting.”

"Yes, it's a secret that can't be told... Oh, no, it's something that doesn't even exist..."

"But boss, if you have any orders that can't be told, you can tell us anytime!"

The bandits chuckled, all wearing expressions that said, "I understand."

Sieg was speechless for a moment.

If it weren't for the impending extermination, he really wanted to immediately dismiss these disobedient subordinates and keep a low profile.

Now that the world government has taken notice, keeping a low profile is no longer an option, and dismissing his subordinates would be tantamount to cutting off his own arm.

Otherwise, would this legendary bandit king be expected to blow the heads off an entire navy unit one bottle after another?

After a moment of silence, Sieg finally issued an order:

"Let's conserve our energy and prepare for a major battle. At the same time, keep a close eye on the movements of the Navy and the Goa Kingdom."

At this point, Sieg suddenly remembered something and glanced at the bald man beside him:

"Absolutely do not do anything unnecessary. The Sig Mountain Bandits do not need to expand further."

"Just gathering intelligence and preparing for battle are enough."

Upon hearing this, all the bandits became even more excited.

"As expected, a major battle is brewing. The boss is about to make a big move, but it's not convenient for him to reveal his purpose right now."
